Punky 1991, Potsdam techno, crazy toy robot, dysfunctional post-unification teenage Berliners, dusty Portuguese desert, programme of 'desocialisation', ambiguous relationships, dodgy seizures, displaced ravers, anarchic sensibilities, daytime drinking, and a whole lotta emptiness...'Body Rice' fulfils nobody's expectations and doesn't give you an easy ride, and its precisely this that makes it really special and different. It's brilliantly unclear quite what's going on, instead giving you the scent of a deliciously maddening ennui and a true sense of being off-kilter – a rare experience and one to be cherished.
